About Pike Place
Seattle, Washington has no shortage of fun activities, interesting sites, and beautiful scenery. From a trip to the top of the Space Needle to just sitting on the waterfront at Elliot Bay and enjoying the view, there is something for everyone’s tastes. One thing that shouldn’t be missed is Seattle’s distinctive Pike Place Market overlooking that picturesque Bay.
This great public market is built on the edge of a hill overlooking Elliot Bay on Pike Place, a cobblestone street that runs through the market. It has been in business since 1907 and is one of the oldest public farmers’ markets in the U.S. Not only does it contain booth after booth of produce, baked goods, and fresh fish, but it is also a place of business for craftspeople and other merchants. In fact, there are over 120 farmer’s booths and 200 arts and crafts booths.
There are several levels to Pike Place Market and each has its own array of unique shops and restaurants. It is the upper level where you will find the fresh produce and the many fishmongers. You can pass the time watching these talented folks tossing fish to one another as customers place their orders.
The Market brings in over 10 million visitors every year, which makes it one of the state’s most visited landmarks. It is open seven days a week all year round. Each merchant has their own hours, but farmers are usually there by 8:00 am during the peak of the farming season and the restaurants are open later during that period.
